Good morning all, it's a beautiful sunny Monday and I'm ready for work. Can you guess where I am?
Now, a late 1960s Leblanc LL has what type of key plating? I'm familiar with the look of nickel vs silver, but this seems to be in-between, perhaps because of tarnishing and pitting.
Cheers and enjoy what's left of the weekend!

I'm guessing on the other side of the international dateline; e.g., China?

OK, I'm in Sydney and now I'm grumpy because it's Monday afternoon. ![[down]](http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/smileys/smiley23.gif)
Kia ora, Donald. If not for the absence of warm weather there I'd become a New Zealander ASAP.
The real question was the one about plating on a Leblanc LL. Any takers?

Perhaps it is unplated, i.e. the basic "nickel silver" alloy (containing no silver), similar to what 'silver' coins are made from.
We're having a beautiful day in NZ tomorrow. Such a shame that you divert so much of the variable weather in our direction. :-)

i'm pretty glad to get those storms and low pressure systems (=bad weather) off the Tasman sea (=the direction of Australia)...... all that nice ground-swell out west is one of the best things about living in Auckland.
